LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Lincoln City Golf on Monday announced two major improvements to its courses over the next year.
The $2.3 million in Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) include a $400,000 cart path project at Pioneers Golf Course and a $1.9 million irrigation project at Holmes Park Golf Course.
According to Lincoln City Golf, the cart path project at Pioneers is expected to begin in late October.
The irrigation project at Holmes Park is already underway and is expected to be completed by spring 2026.
Wade Foreman, Lincoln City Golf Coordinator, said the Holmes course irrigation system is 40 years old, and the tile pipe is at least 10 years overdue for replacement.
The new system will use high-density polyethylene pipe, which is expected to last 60 years.
“Completing two major improvement projects will set up the courses for long term success,” Foreman said in a press release.
Funds for the projects come from surcharge fees added to the price of golf at all courses.
For the 2025-2026 fiscal year, a total of $2.25 will be added to the fees at 18-hole courses, and $1.25 added to the fee at the nine-hole course.
The surcharges are attributed to two project groups:
A general CIP surcharge adds $1.25 to all 18-hole green fees and $.75 to the nine-hole green fee.
A Pioneers Course irrigation project surcharge adds $1 to the 18-hole green fees and $.50 to the nine-hole green fee.
